Red Snapper With Sweet And Hot Pepper Sauce Food

FRIED RED SNAPPER IN SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix the cornstarch and flour together. Season the snapper with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and dredge in the flour mixture. Fill a deep pot halfway full with oil. Heat oil to 350 degrees F, and fry fish until golden, toss directly into hot sauce, and serve.
• Put a small saucepan over medium heat, add oil, onions, and ginger. Saute for 2 minutes. Add vinegar, sugar, ketchup, and duck sauce. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes, add water to desired consistency if sauce is too thick. Season with salt and pepper.

RED SNAPPER WITH SWEET AND HOT PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a heavy saucepan. Add the red peppers, green chili and onion and saute over low heat until soft, but not brown. Stir in the garlic, cook a few seconds longer, then add the water. Allow to simmer about 20 minutes, until the peppers are very tender.
• Meanwhile, preheat a grill or broiler and oil the rack. Mix the lime juice with two tablespoons of the olive oil and brush over the fish. Allow to marinate until ready to cook the fish.
• When the peppers are tender, puree the contents of the saucepan in a food processor or blender. Season with the paprika and to taste with salt and pepper. Stir the last tablespoon of the olive oil. Return to saucepan and simmer, then cover to keep warm.
• To grill the fish, place the fish on the grill skin side up. Cook about six minutes, until the fish is lightly seared. Using a large spatula, turn the fish, cook very briefly on the other side, then transfer to warm plates. To broil the fish, broil it skin side down until the fish is cooked through and lightly seared, six to eight minutes. Do not turn it. Transfer the fish to a warm plate.
• To serve, spoon some of the pepper sauce over and around the fish and garnish with coriander.

GRILLED SNAPPER AND ASPARAGUS WITH RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, garlic, shallot, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the bell pepper is tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan; cook until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes; discard the thyme. Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree; season with salt and pepper and add up to 1 more teaspoon vinegar, if needed.
• Preheat a grill to high and generously oil the grates. Rub the fish with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub the asparagus with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish skin-side down until the skin is marked and crisp, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip and grill until just cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes. Grill the asparagus, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Spoon the pepper sauce onto plates. Top with the fish and asparagus; sprinkle with the parsley.
